Why are people obsessed with her? She's ugly af
She swims for a college team. the NCAA doesn't allow them to get paid.
>she's 15 in these pictures
but she's not in college yet, that's why
was she a professional in Rio?
>she was barely 19 in the olympics
wwwwhhhhaaaatttt
>15 year old crushes opposition in olympic 800m swimming
that says more about women's swimming than her
she losses her NCAA eligibility if she accepts all those endorsements
but why bother with ncaa if you can already earn loads of money. iron is hot etc.
Why would she care? Who fucking cares about crushing college kids? Take the Nike money and stomp old bitches in the olympics every 4 years and cash them checks.
Because she wants to participate with the swim team at her college, she even said so in an interview on NBC. So you should criticize her decision to stay in college, because shes well aware of all the money shes losing out on with her decision.
College is fine. Just don't swim for the team.
Especially if it's going to cost you all the money it's going to cost her. What if she is never the relevant again? Riding the coattails of Phelps' glory is going to be awfully hard without him there in future Olympic Games.
Just take those millions and forget about the college.
Is she fucking insane?
isn't she hardcore christian too? maybe she's already planning to stop swimming and get pregnant.
She's Catholic
Also her family is already really wealthy so the endorsements aren't a big deal
>mfw german athletes are all soldiers and policemen
feels prussian
Her family is loaded. She never has to work a day in her life if she doesn't want to.
goddamn at least she's ugly as sin
Her uncle is a major owner of the New York Islanders hockey team for instance
>Get the millions
>Win a few more medals with a few more world record
>Buy drugs, die of overdose
>You're a fucking legend, and will always be remembered as one of the best male athletes of all times.
Fuck NCAA
>Her family is loaded
Do tell more.
Her dad is a major DC area lawyer
Uncle has a Harvard JD/MBA and owns a hockey team
so swimming is just like a hobby for her?
She has not even sacrificed everything for swimming?
She doesn't even barely scrap by to follow her dreams?
She doesn't even work half time at some retail store?
Maybe the american dream really is dead
Competitive swimming in America is something rich kids do..Inner city schools can't afford to maintain pools or swimming teams so it's mostly rich suburban public schools and private schools.
Meh she's just had a comfy life, most swimmers come from wealthier backgrounds I think (like Lochte's mom is some Cuban exile, those people are usually loaded)
Phelps tho I think comes from a poor background. Frankly though due to the lack of funding from the govt for Olympic sports in the US unless you're a freak of nature you probably need to be rich because otherwise you can't do all the training
No. She's carefree and loves swimming so much that she became great even when she didn't have to. She is the result of her foreign grandparents literally living the American dream.
Phelps is lower-middle class due to his parent's divorce. His dad wasn't rich but made good money. It just had to support 2 households.
>getting married in America
>any year close to the current year
might as well hire somebody to bury mines in your yard
ah makes sense. In our socialist hellhole all the pools are public anyway and sports is not really something you do in school
>most swimmers come from wealthier backgrounds
yeh that maybe true in the US
that really is something to be jealous of. Maybe reading about her bigshot lawyer dad will give me some motivation tho
I wonder what kind of panties she wears. Seems like despite her family wealth, she probably wears regular hanes panties.
Why is she so perfect lads?

Looks like a boy to me desu
Hah. Didn't even think about it.
>One hand on the booze one hand on the droid
is her hairline shopped?
Because the contract says if she tests positive for PEDs then she forfeits the money and has to pay it all back plus interest of 25%. Obviously a bad idea.
You shut your whore mouth about my waifu or I will fight you.
Probably just wears her bathing suit under all her clothes every day
>dropping things you actually enjoy for loadsamoney
selling out never usually is good for the soul
Maybe she wants to meet a smart boy at Stanford?
>yeh that maybe true in the US
I just assumed that was true everywhere. The stereotype that black people cant swim comes from the fact the most of them are poor. Blacks from wealthier families usually swim just fine
DESU I would always tell people to go pro. You can always go back to school when you are in your mid to late 20's anyway
Its hard to overstate just how important college right out of high school is to upper class culture in the US. You don't just go there to learn. You go there to have the "College experience."
Not that I ever got any of that...
This.
Use the millions from endorsements, along with the stardom (she isn't a star yet, not even close), to get into the best uni and then the best job after.
Seriously, what the fuck is up with her hair? It can't be thew chlorine, or every girl that swims will have the same hairline. Or the same wrinkly old woman face.
>15 years old
19
That picture is from London
i've seen pictures of her as a kid, it was the same. just crazy hairline. my niece has the same.
Fuck man, why'd you have to post that webm? I'm already at a low point in life and you don't have to make it worse
Pussy
How do these famous as shit people go about Uni life anyway. Do they have a bunch of people orbiting them desperate to be their m8 or are they generally ignored.
Must be nice to be a rich broad, you can do as you please because you always have daddy to fund your life, you can even marry some wealthy kid who will bleed dry supporting you even though you look like the white Vincent Kompany
>Turning down free money
Her Jewish ancestors are rolling in their mass graves
ayylmao, underrated post
>You will never be Katie Ledecly
Feels good man
This
Seriously?
F
In America they are gods. We worship celebrity.
She's going to have a lot of attention her first semester then everyone will forget
Athletic
Awkward posture
Walks like a guy
Not very feminine
Tom Boyish hair plus never combs her hair
Does nothing about her receding hair line
Bad at dressing herself up
Never cares to fix herself up and look sexy
Dresses more masculine than feminine
Terrible at applying make up
Unfeminine voice
Obviously doesn't care to use skin care products like all other women
No interest in getting a boyfriend
How is it possible you Katie fags haven't realized she doesn't like cock? All the other girls where checking out Phelps, meanwhile she was checking out Missy Franklin
>Awkward posture
>Walks like a guy
She walks like she's 6 inches taller than everyone around her. Which most of the time she is.
I should know. Thats how I walk
so either you're an effeminate guy or a masculine girl. which?
Can somebody give me the background to that webm?
I take it you've never met an actual lesbian. Most make an effort to look good as much as straight girls do, you ain't going to appeal anyone looking like an autistic scruff like Ledecky does.
She has no interest in anything but swimming fast.
>she was checking out Missy Franklin
Lol no. She's going to Stanford so she can get BLACKED by Simone Manuel
Is her family loaded?
Yes
Why doesn't Ryan Lochte become Ryanda Lochshe and win hundreds of golds that way?
He can't compete with Phelps.
How can he pee everywhere if he cuts off his penis?
He can crouch.
Do you think the media would have acted differently if he was a woman or transgender ?
Fucking crypto Jew.
would those corrupt security hues still had extorted them money at gunpoint if they where female?
One of us
One of us
>She baneposts on Sup Forums
I hope she comes out and says she really really likes men
Her parents will believe her, but we'll know what she really means
That's a pretty ugly hairline to be quite honesto
